This means you need to have a clear (and flexible) strategic plan for your business.
Here are three tips that can assist you to get started:
1- Define your Vision of Success
When creating a strategic plan, people always talk about goal setting, but without a clear vision of what success actually looks like for your business, it’s difficult to set clear goals. So take some time to consider what your business DNA is, talk to your key staff about what values are important for your team, and start visualizing what is involved in being a sucessful business. With a clear vision, you can set methodical goals to benefit your business and the wider community.
2- Keep an Eye on the Competition
